XML Core WG Status and Open Actions as of 2008 May 27

The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.

Our next telcon will be June 4.


Status and open actions
=======================

C14N 1.1
--------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#c14n1.1

The C14N 1.1 Recommendation has been published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-c14n11-20080502/


XML 1.0 5th Edition
-------------------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xml-errata

The XML 1.0 5th Edition PER has been published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/PER-xml-20080205/

The PER period ended 16 May 2008.

We need to have:

 at least three implementations that pass the test suite
 for each of the errata that have been newly applied to
 the 5th Edition.

Are we aware of any implementations that have done this yet?

Richard believes Henry made changes to Richard's parser
to handle the extended ranges.  In any case, he believes
he could easily have a conforming application.

DV hasn't done the changes yet, but he does plan to do so.

ACTION to Glenn:  Check with Apache folks on status of
implementing XML 1.0 5th Edition.

ACTION to Henry:  Check with Microsoft on status of
implementing XML 1.0 5th Edition.

Henry has updated the test suite to have tests for
the 5th Ed changes.  Richard says one may need to
alter the harness to allow someone to test against
the 5th Ed version specifically.

ACTION to Richard:  Check with Henry about the test suite
especially wrt 5th Ed tests.

XML Test Suite

Henry/Richard discussed the test suite issues raised by Frans Englich:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-testsuite/2007Mar/ 

ACTION: Richard to construct a test case for these issues.


Namespaces in XML 1.0/1.1
-------------------------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#ns1.0 and
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#ns1.1.

Richard has updated the NS PE doc at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2001/05/proposed-xml-names-errata

NPE28 Links to Attribute production are wrong 
---------------------------------------------
Richard suggests this is editorial and easily fixed.

NPE27 Prohibition of xmlns:x="" in 1.0 should be a Namespace Constraint 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NPE29 Uniqueness of attributes should be a Namespace Constraint 
---------------------------------------------------------------
Richard notes that the spec already makes these points conformance
issues even though they aren't call a constraint, so he isn't sure
making them constraints is helpful, but we will continue to consider.

For NPE27, Richard already agrees in email with Anne that the
"may not" should become a 2119 "MUST NOT", so we should at least
make that change, and Paul would feel better if we got the
word "constraint" in here somehow.

ACTION to Richard:  Update the NPE27 with some discussion/proposed
resolution that at least fixes the "may not" and perhaps includes
the word "constraint".


LEIRIs
------
